Where can I get new 1/2 moon's for exhaust headers

seestheday
1981 CB750K.  Where can I get new 1/2 moons for the exhaust headers?  Mine are mangled and bent, one is split into two pieces (have been that way since I got them) and I suspect that they're the source of a slight exhaust leak and rattle that shows up at 4K rpm.

Anywhere other than resorting to ebay? :-)

I've got nothing, been googling for half hour now, lol, I'm sorry man, it's either ebay or bust. I'd give a shout out to Tools and see if he has any spares kicking around.

That would be awesome, thanks slow. Let me take a pic of mine tonight to make sure they are the same ones.

Here is a pic of them.  Looks like they're the 1/2 inch ones.  This is the broken one.  The other 3 are still attached together.  Not sure if they're original.  This broken one curiously isn't nearly as mashed as the others, but it does seem to have a lot of carbon built up on it.

Sigh, nevermind.  After I took the gaskets off I recalled that tools mentioned in another thread that the gaskets should go on the opposite way that I had them on there (been that way since I got the bike).  So I tried turning it back around and damn if it doesn't fit super snug.   I turned the rest around and took it for a spin.

Ya that fixed all of my exhaust leak issues and a few more (idle seems smoother now, etc).

Thanks for all the offers anyways guys.  Genuinely appreciate all of the goodwill here.

No problem bud! The ones you show in the pic were actually different then the ones I had. If you even need those, MAC sells them for $15 for all of them. I just ordered them for my new exhaust (mac 4-1). Just out of curiosity, which way do the gaskets go? Seam against the head or vice versa? Thanks!
